Profile
I
I thrive when working as part of a collective to solve complex problems through team effort and research. I believe that my level of drawing, computer skills, creativity, knowledge in production and keen interest in design make me as a designer an attractive prospect.
am a designer with a bold and confident style influenced by a fascination of automated production. This interest was born during a placement in a CAD/CAM company producing high end machined furniture. Shortly after that I built a 3D printer and joined the Rep-Rap open source development network to which I contribute.
My computer skills are varied but specialized in 3D modelling optimized for printing and visual presentation.

FLOW CAM
FLOW CAM is an image stabilization system for medium to large format DSLR. It’s core beliefs are to be light, friendly and most importantly highly effective. It cancels any shaking to ensure smooth and dynamic footage.
OPTIMIZED FOR FDM PRINTING
Where form follows function
All these parts were printed with PLA on Mendel. Printing time: 12 hours
Allows fine tuning the position of the camera; making the setting up process effortless
The most important factor for the correct functioning is the balancing point of the camera. This system allows the top to be shifted around to achieve this. Printing time: 6.5 hours
Easily adjusted counter weight.

Coffee Table
Sketch Development: A few ideas from my development sketches. I tried to understand the minimalist yet functional Scandinavian style. The work of Eero Aarnio, Arne Jacobsen and Fritz Hansen was a great inspiration.
